Re: Booting kernel with 4 mb ram

For this pupose I have downloaded the low memory bootdisk, which should be able to install debian to a 4 MB system. But when I use the disk, the bootprompt appears as it should, but as I boot linux, the computer reboots just after decompressing the kernel, and the disk boots again. No messages pop up before the reboot. I haven't been able to figure out what the problem is, and I have tried several different configurations in the BIOS.

It's not a hardware problem as far as I can tell because it only affects external links not local ones. I don't think, that it is a hardware issue, see below. As for what I mean by locally and externally... we both live on campus at university and are connected to the residential network. Traffic within this network is fine and goes at full speed for my friend. The residential network is connected (through a firewall) to the university network. Traffic to this network is extremely slow for my friend but normal ethernet speeds for me. I hope that clears it up. Yes, it does. This sounds like a problem with the firewall (at least his machine does work inside the residential network - so I guess it is no problem on his computer). Maybe the firewall is logging activity from the computer of your friend. The other weird aspect of this problem is that transfers made by a machine outside the residential network to his machine go at full ethernet speed as well. For example, using ftp on an machine outside the residential network to copy a file to his machine goes at about 200kB/s. Using ftp to copy a file from his machine to a machine outside the residential network goes in ~30kB/s bursts with a few seconds between bursts. I get roughly same speed (200kB/s) in both directions. If it helps the external machine we're connecting to is a Sun box running SunOS 5.6. Oh, and before you think it's an ftp problem, this affects all other protocols (including ICMP if the bing results are any indication). And there's no measurable packet loss. Is the problem bound to the IP or MAC adress? Did you swap IPs? Did you connect your computer to his cable (in case a hub or switch is damaged). Jens P.S.: Please vote against Spam!

Now they are available at all computer stores here in Aachen. I found that cdrecord fails if I try to write too much to the disc. The disks are ruined. Most disk have some more capacity than what the label says. But somewhere the spiral ends and the leadout has to be a length on the order of 3 seconds, so that normal cd readers are able to read them (data cds). There was once an article in the german computer magazine C'T, which (windows) software is able to write the full capacity, which fails, etc. But cdrdao writes all 80 minutes without complaining ( it gives a warning). The disks are playable, but the last few minutes are cut off. CD players don't care about leadouts, I think. But it may be just due to the command line params that I give and so forth.

Re: [comp.os.linux.misc] I am not impressed with Debian so far.
From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] (Barry Samuels) Newsgroups: comp.os.linux.misc Subject: I am not impressed with Debian so far. [...] I have been using SuSE since v5.2 ( now on 6.0 ) and, having heard about apt-get, I thought that I would give Debian a try. [...] After finishing the install, configuring X and trying the system briefly to make sure it worked, I decided to recompile the kernel. Everything here went without a hitch until I rebooted the machine. It seemed from some error messages during boot that some support functions which I had included in the kernel were also being loaded as modules. Before anyone starts suggesting what I didn't do, I did: make dep make clean make zImage make modules make modules_install copy resultant image to /boot/vmlinuz copy System.map to /boot run lilo I then recompiled again but this time modularising those support functions which caused error messages. On reboot this time everything was fine. So why should it be necessary to have some support functions as modules rather than included in the kernel? I went through the same process with SuSE without any of these problems. I guess he didn't remove /lib/modules/2.his.kernel.version. You will be reminded to do this when using make-kpkg. Maybe the README should state that there is kernel-package and how to use it. Jens P.S.: Please vote against Spam!

Re: fd0 deviation question
Jonathan Lupa [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: Hello, Quick question on floppy deviation. Everytime that I use superformat to format a floppy, it does a little warmup test and tells me to set a deviation flag in /etc/driveprm. Well, before I did that I tried again and superformat gave me back a different number for the deviation. The question: When the tested deviation varies with every run, is it time to get a new floppy drive? superformat tries to find an interleave factor so that the fd gives best performance on your system. So it has to measure some times. As a multiuser, multitasking system is not very well suited for such a task it is likely there are small differences in the outcome every time you run it. I guess it even depends on the load (or the number of interrupts during the measurement). This is normal. Jens P.S.: Please vote against Spam!

I abandoned kde because I had problems with another piece of software which didn't like that kde tried to change something in with the menues.

Re: can't login after package installation

I made a fault and tried to install first libreadline (with dpkg) the package complained that libncurses are required first. After this installation attempt I wasn't able to login anymore (with telnet). The login processes finishes before the prompt is displayed with the following error message: You have mail. -bash: error in loading shared libraries: libncurses.so.4: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory Since I can't login I cannot install libncurses or remove libreadline :[ There seems to be a bug in the libreadline debian package.

I only have a boot disk (prepared by copying the kernel) and the debian rescue disk. I suspect I need a real boot disk with an own root file system on it. At the lilo prompt you can use an argument like init=/bin/sash to get to a working root shell. You probably will have to remount everything rw.

Re: Advanced Printer Control?

It can do duplex, 2- 4- 8-up printing, etc. How can I achieve such control from the Linux clients? I need to be able to specify at least duplex, and hopefully a greater subset of the printer's capabilities. Linux is working great as a print server to NT clients, but not so great to Linux clients.

While adding the inconveniency that the users have to type in a password, it adds logging who actually invoked what.

Re: Festplatte partitionieren
Michael Wahl [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: Hallo ! Bin absoluter Debian / Linux Neuling und brauche ein paar Tips über die Festplattenpartition. For answers in German language please contact [EMAIL PROTECTED] Ich habe eine 1,7GB ATAPI und demnächst kommt noch eine 6,4GB Western Digital hinzu. Die ATAPI würde ich gerne für die Installation von Debian und anderen Betriebssystemen nutzen (NT40, DOS6.22). Außerdem benutze ich ME10 und ProE (CAD-Software), einige Rechen- Programme (z.B. Mathcad, ANSYS), Staroffice, Word und Excel und ein bißchen Spielen will ich auch noch (z.B. Forsakken). Internet Zugang ist auch vorhanden und ein lokales 3-Rechner Netzwerk. Wie groß sollte dabei meine /root, /usr, /dos, sein; Brauche ich noch andere Partitionen? Gibt es leben im Weltall? The size of the /dos partition doesn't matter, as long as all your dos programs fit on it. More interesting is the size of /root, /usr, /home and /var. /root = 50 MB is sufficent. /home depends on the number of regular logins and what they will do on the machine. For using Staroffice, you have to multiply 8 MB with the number of users. If you have archives of mailing lists, you have to take more space per user. /var is the home of the print, news and mail spool. Depending on the number of high volume newsgroups/mailinglists, I would calculate 5 MB per Newsgroup and Day (might be more). /usr depend on the number and size of the applications you will install. On my heavy used system (netscape, staroffice, maple, emacs, C/C++ environment) it has a size of 375 MB.
